speed demon

Players leave clubs when they feel they're hard done by or see no future opportunity. This is not the case for Warnock. His omission was warranted based on costly disposal errors and a lack of pace. He might be unlucky to not get a call up this week but it just so happens that all our defenders are playing very well. I hope he can develop an attacking side to his game at Casey and if he does there will certainly be a place for him at the Dees before long.

Is it Catwoman? Did Bailey just smile? No! Jack and Clint take their first look at the 'house that Guy bought' and think of the fun times ahead!

Brown and Fev to double tag Frawley with Staker to help out as 4th man up. Frawley BOG.

"Even terms"?! Ha ha ha. What do they want? Slow us down with lead in our shoes?!

Looked like his confidence grew with each successful passage of play. If he can develop an attacking side to his game, and reliable disposal, he may well remain a regular player in years to come. Goodluck to him, seems to have great character.

Very pleased with Wona's game today. He seized the opportunity created by injuries to others and showed he belongs at this level. Clearly much fitter now than earlier in the year, today he showed endevour, football smarts and beautiful skills. 2008 wasn't an aberration, he is our best small forward prospect. Here's hoping he remains injury free.

I've never watched a game where the commentators were so clearly supporting one team. Clearly, they too thought it the best football we've played in years. Dennis Commetti actually said to Jim Stynes he will take out a membership today before going back to WA. Matthew Richardson pulled out a $50 for the Debt Demolition. At one stage a commentator said (to paraphrase) "this is the most entertaining one sided game I've seen this year". Made me enjoy the Swans Demolition even more.

I was glad Bailey keep Morton on Goodes all game. I like seeing Morton have to be accountable rather than gathering easy possessions as a loose man across half back. Morton can learn a lot about what it takes to be a champion at this level from Goodes.

I'm amazed he has gone from 73kg to 96kg in a couple of years and can still sprint with the fastest in the game as well as run all day long. What a specimen. Not only that he seems to keep developing his game. In Grimes' absence he has stepped up to become an excellent attacking defender.

Jordie's been consistently good but just hasn't had a clear BOG performance to get that nomination. Just to throw an idea out there, if he was to score a nomination, could he fare better than Trengove and Scully in the Rising Star? I think his form this year have be more highly rated if he were a number 1 or 2 draft pick.

This week, again under enormous pressure, Watts goals in the 4Q to put Dees 85 points up.

Another 8 goal term. 20 goals to 3 quarter time (AFL record 2010). Dees by 86!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8 goal lead at half time. Great to see the Dees playing with confidence. Our skill level suddenly improves and we hit targets. The speed of our forward is awesome. When Sydney defenders have the ball our forwards materialise beside them. Good signs for the future. Sylvia dominating in the midfield.

Watts lace out to Jurrah...Goal! First of hundreds hopefully. Melb 36 Syd 6

Wona to Green = Goal Followed by Wona to Green = Goal

Green's poster called a goal! First 2 goals to Dees! What a start!!

Damn, beat me to it. Demons to win and Jurrah to kick 4.

Overall the bad was reasonably balanced by the good. Shocking first half followed by dominant 3rd quarter and solid 4th. Bate was absent in the first half but regularly involved in the second half (unfortunately with some costly errors). Watts showed more promise today than any other game. He ran hard, presented often, chased, won contested possessions (7 - equal 3rd for MFC) and generally played with more confidence and a better understanding of his position. Ofcourse, he game was blighted by some clangers (5 - equal 1st for MFC). These included kicking for goal and dropping a simple handball. However, we know from previous games that these are areas he is normally strong in, so no serious concern for the future. A month ago posters wanted to see Watts play with intensity and keep his feet. He's responding.

If PJ plays like he did today for the rest of the season he has earnt himself a one year lifeline while other younger players are still developing.

If Watts had of kicked the winning goal he would get nominated. As it is, maybe next week?

I agree that Jones' potential may be less than some of our other mids so good move by the club to develop him as a tagger over the last few weeks. Given his strength, intensity and persistence he could become very effective in this role.

Good point. Embarrassing to say but watching LJ play can be the excitement of my week! He's also a star to the kids in Yuendumu - they wouldn't be more impressed if he walked on the moon! But star player? Not yet.

I like Gold Coast Stingers but, more importantly, I don't like Gold Coast. So i hope they go for Gold Coast Pansies, unless, ofcourse, that's been reserved by GWS.
